Tbh i used OLED dark mode on my LG v50, and I got serious screen burn in as a consequence. OLED isn’t worth using for a smartphone IMO.

It’s the verbal equivalent of quotation marks done as a hand gesture.

I mean… the write speed of my flash drive (or the port it’s plugged into) is usually my bottleneck

Oh, I’m familiar with hoarders. Grandma is floor to ceiling; shed, two car garage, basement, both floors. I think the family plan is to let the city/bank deal with it when she goes. We won’t go inside.

Use a password manager; keep the porn accounts in a separate password vault that can be disposed of. Keep the password in a safe and/or include it in your will in some way.

I’m going to have to take over my dad’s setup someday and keep it running for my mom…

Yeah, this has more or less sold me on giving arch a shot in the near future. I really need to get some fundamental Linux knowledge under my belt, and the arch wiki is legendary for being pretty comprehensive.

To avoid this: stop signing into personal accounts on equipment you don’t own

Gonna have to disagree with you on Popeyes. They’re generally good for the first few months they’re open, the nosedive. The fries are good, the chicken is dry and extremely thin for what you pay.

A US news echo chamber at the whims of whatever they think will appease trump is going to be horrifying…

Try Linux in a VM (virtual machine) for a while.

• Low hassle compared to dual booting,
• no risk of Microsoft randomly doing something to windows that breaks your Linux install.
• low/No system downtime if you decide you don’t like one distro or another and want to switch,
• no loss of game data for your son (I’ve lost so many saves because of games putting them in nonsensical places in windows; why is appdata still the default for minecraft saves!?)

May the coming Hyper-canes fill the server rooms of the stock market.

IT support everywhere sigh in satisfaction

I would not be surprised if this was repealed (if only as an effort to further purge government employees):

Prior to this, my understanding is that back pay was given in good faith, not by actual requirements.

The first Trump presidency is known for the longest government shutdown in US history.

Job stability is not a given for federal employment anymore.

Other than that, I would say non-defense jobs are certainly worth maintaining institutional knowledge.

Probably good enough for police to half ass their way into a warrant?

Tbh I’m kinda glad Blizzard/battlenet games don’t appeal to me anymore. I got severely burnt out on Diablo 3, and it feels like all blizzard produced was either grindfests or competitive games.

I just use an app on my phone. Being able to set a timer with multiple stages is important to me for baking (I can make a custom timer that pauses at each stage of rising).

If i just need a quick timer, the basic clock app works for me.

Responding to them only confirms a person exists at your number. Flag them as spam and ignore them.

Leviev showed how an attacker, with admin-level access to a system, could tamper with the Windows Update process and revert fully patched Windows components, including dynamic link libraries, drivers, and the kernel, back to a previously vulnerable state.

Hah! Gottem
